POCATELLO, Idaho – Senior forward
Rachel Strawn scored her fourth and fifth goals of the 2012 season Saturday as she helped Idaho State defeat Minot State 4-0 at Davis Field.
Strawn scored her first goal of the contest at the 11:47 mark off an assist from sophomore forward
Amanda Ellsworth. Strawn scored again in the second half, at the 63:04 mark, off an assist from senior midfielder
Anna Pingree. Strawn finished the contest with four shots, four on goal and two goals in 54 minutes of play.
“I couldn't be happier for Rachel,” ISU Head Coach
Allison Gibson said. “You know, we had a long talk at the end of her junior year and I told her she had one more year and if she committed to it she had all the tools and she did. I had been on her for three years to do it and she finally did. She stayed here all summer and trained. She is getting those opportunities in games and just putting them away. It's exciting. Seeing that hard work payoff is really rewarding for a coach.”
Pingree went on to assist another ISU goal just one minute later as junior defender
Allyson Stainbrook scored her first goal of the year. Pingree finished with one shot, one on goal and two assists while Stainbrook posted one shot, one on goal and one goal in 67 minutes of action.
Ellsworth scored her second goal of the season in the first half at the 16:51 mark off an assist from senior defender
Alishia Cairl. Ellsworth finished with six shots, three on goal, one goal and one assist for the contest.
